Virgin Active Collection Menlyn Maine has been awarded a 4-star Green Star SA rating for interiors.
This certification is the second for the health club group that operates 140 clubs in Southern Africa.
The Green Star SA Interiors is a rating tool that assesses the environmental attributes of interior fit-outs. Virgin Active Collection Alice Lane was the first health club on the continent to be awarded a 4 star rating using the Interiors PILOT V1 in 2016, and Silo is the next club that has been submitted for rating.
In September 2015, the UN’s General Assembly agreed on the Agenda for Sustainable Development. Virgin Active South Africa has aligned its strategy with the Sustainable Development Goals and has committed to a 2030 goal of net zero environmental impact.
Ross Faragher-Thomas, MD Virgin Active South Africa said, “With the Western Cape in the clutches of a devastating drought, never has it been more imperative that businesses assume a leadership position and conduct operations in an environmentally responsible manner. This certification is testament to our sustainability commitment.”
